The goal of this analysis is to determine which film properties influence whether a movie is rated above 7 on IMDB. We will use a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) along with other machine learning models for comparison.

Based on the analysis, we found that budget and votes are significant predictors of IMDB ratings. The logistic regression and random forest models provided strong predictive capabilities, while PCA did not significantly improve the model. Further improvements could be made using ensemble methods or additional feature engineering.
